[@Vinterangel]

great video but one can start doing the milk with the plus a lot earlier, so the waiting time is not THAT long...

[@RE7Hazuki]

I thought that, there would probably only be 20-30 seconds difference.

[@philipwhyte]

Very good no nonsense review, and devoid, thankfully, of any irritating music track. Well done.

[@jlasorsa]

Great comparison video! I purchased the Pro and my machine does not make espresso and heat / froth milk simultaneously. It does this in sequence (just like the Creatista plus). I did a little research and discovered the reason has to do with the different Voltage used in the US that limits this functionality. It’s not a dealbreaker but, I would be curious to hear if anyone else ran into this “issue” with the Creatista Pro?

[@Mr.MasterOfMind]

I read this online from others as well. It’s non US Feature only

[@sirbuftontufton5846]

Good review, but the difference in time saved by brewing coffee and steaming milk at the same time is minimal. The milk takes 1 to 1.5 minutes to steam anyway, so all you're saving is the 15 seconds or so needed to brew separately with the Plus.

[@PlanningwithCrystal]

Thank you & yes you're right, it's not a huge difference.

[@jackrussel57]

you could have started the milk a lot quicker on the plus machine, I have one, And its fantastic.

[@PurfectRelaxation]

Fantastic comparison! I’m definitely leaning towards the pro version now! Is there a huge difference in electricity requirements? The fact it has a separate water dispenser is a really nice feature to me! My mother always makes hot chocolate mixes for the winter season and I can see using the hot water all the time!

[@stephaniel8164]

I always steam milk for hot cocoa! Gives it a little more luxury. 😁

[@rtayl0r]

I think this was the best comparison video I have ever seen. Very informative and exactly what I was looking for - 10/10

[@ed_10]

To me it's a bit misleading to wait so long to finish the drink on the Plus. They both finished the shot at the same time, so what stopped you from pressing the button on the top to start the milk?

[@DiaArtDenmark]

My thoughts exactly. The plus says "start milk" or something like that in the display. It would have given a much more useful idea of the difference between the two machines.

[@Goatherd23]

Exactly 😂

[@fredytorres2496]

Great video and review, it allowed me to finally make a clear decision on which machine to purchase, being the only coffee drinker in my house the Plus will be perfect for me!! Thank you!!

[@harshtiwaril0ngwhitecl0ud]

Great video love the pro but ordered the plus the difference in New Zealand is around $400 bucks which is quite substantial.

[@PlanningwithCrystal]

The plus is a great machine, I hope you enjoy using it :)

[@krasnaludek298]

Nobody needs all that drama with the Pro model. Just need the machine to make a cup of coffee; no more & no less, so the Plus model for me.

[@Commander_HW]

i have the Plus. And i use the milk steam function to heat up water, u only need to do it 1.5X for the water to BOIL. (You do need lift the milk jug a bit so it doesn't touch the temperature sensor at the bottom so it doesn't stop the steam. Or u can just fold one sheet of paper towel to put it under the jug to block the contact like i do.)

[@halinarigler]

I’ve been trying to decide which one to buy and I do like the pro model better even though it’s much more expensive. I really like the fact that it froths milk at the same time. I want the hot water dispenser as well as I’m the type of person who would add that to my coffee and the pro has that option. I really like the screen on top which is a touch screen. I’m going to buy the pro model as it’s currently on sale for 30 % off the retail. Thanks for the comparison video.

[@valerieaugustin7656]

[@josephgittos3787]

My wife bought me the plus from John Lewis for £319 ( stainless steel) and absolutely love such a consistent coffee not had a bad one yet, I had a dualit coffee machine before but such a pain cleaning it afterwards I.e discarding coffee grinds and cleaning the milk wand , this machine as made it so much easier to do , faster then boiling the kettle and making an instant rancid coffee, the pro looks good but to me personally not worth the extra cost

[@PlanningwithCrystal]

It's great, isn't it. What's your favorite drink/coffee blend?

[@josephgittos3787]

Planning with Crystal to be fair I like anything from 9-13 range all good for cappacino and latte and 4range for espresso, I seem to enjoy ispirazione Italians and Kazaa , only had it since 10th of April really missed coffee shop coffee so my wife thought it would make a great present and she wasn’t wrong , I just wished I bought a nespresso machine before buying the the dualit don’t get me wrong the dualit was well made and looked good but just doesn’t touch this machine in ease of use and taste. I did enjoy illy coffee but found out you can now buy them as a nespresso pod so might give them a try

[@MrDigitalMiami]

The only thing to consider is the price. They are essentially “slightly” the same exact thing for a big price difference. Plus gets it done.

[@noomwa]

This helped address a lot of questions. I'm going with the pro. Thanks!

[@OrbitStephanie]

❤❤❤❤❤ hi! Does the pro have the ice coffee setting?

[@kellyisrael9188]

What is the milk capacity? When you say it can make milk for two coffees at once, are they only small coffees? Do you need to wash the milk jug if you need to use it again straight after to make more milk? Thanks

[@PlanningwithCrystal]

The max level of the milk jug marking is 250ml, this then froths up to 350ml-450ml volume - dependant on the setting you use. I find this enough for 2 decent size coffees. You don't need to wash the jug if you are going to use it immediately after. Hope that helps

[@kellyisrael9188]

[@reeeformat3843]

Very helpful video, Thank You! unfortunately our vertuo next broke after a little over 2 years of usage so looking to upgrade. Here in Canada the difference about 500 CAD to the pro. The convenience it offers isn't enough value for that so I think we will go with the plus!

[@Martyntd5]

Good video, thanks. Some observations ...the ability to dispense hot water to me is of no interest ...because I have a kettle. Imagine you are making 2 cups, the added time it takes to add water to each cup, negates any benefit from the simultaneous milk wand ...and you can heat up milk for 2 cups in one go anyway. I don't see any benefit from the pro version at all, especially not with a £200 premium. I'm getting the plus version ...which I think is the better looking machine as well.

[@Richard-yr9fs]

I bought the Plus less than a year ago and already had it repaired twice by Nespresso. Now that they are no longer able to repair it, I'll be getting my money back. They offered to replace it and maintain the 1 WEEK of warranty. Not interested in being ripped off. Nespresso told me (more than a few times) that Australian law does not fit with their policies and procedures. I'm sure the ACCC will be interested in that. Be very careful with either - they are both from Nespresso. Opinion = Overpriced junk.

[@nobbs67]

Hi Great video! Could you tell me how tall a cup you could get under the spout of the pro model, I’m thinking travel cup here. Thank you in advance

[@PlanningwithCrystal]

Wow! That is a good deal!

[@royellis8265]

Was this a flash sale??

[@merouby]

Another consideration is the base of the Pro is wider so a mug can easily rest with the milk jug alongside

[@deonhooper8935]

How long do you have to wait on the plus before you can start the milk? Seemed like you waited quite awhile

[@PlanningwithCrystal]

You just have to wait for the coffee to finish dispensing and then press the button for the milk.

[@JessieBanana]

You don't have to wait at all. That's the only thing I didn't like about the review. You can't actually tell how much time is saved and it makes it seem like the Plus takes a really long time to make a drink. I wish she would have pressed the start button immediately for a better comparison.

[@DorisR184]

@@JessieBanana she waited an unnecessary amount of time to start the milk but you do have to wait until the coffee finishes brewing on the plus before you can start the milk. The plus isn't capable of doing both at the same time.

[@JessieBanana]

@@DorisR184 I know, I have the plus. You have to wait, but the entire process only takes a couple minutes. The espresso brews in like a matter of 30 seconds.

@@urgedmoon it ok, I’ve got it, been reading up. A long black and and American are pretty much the same thing, that’s what I was saying. And the lungo is like you said, just a very long espresso. 😂😂😂

[@RegisteredMail1]

Crystal, Thank you very much for the comparison between the Nespresso Plus and the Pro. I have watched several videos about the different types of expresso machines and your video was much better than most of the others. We bought our Nespresso, Creatista Pro on Amazon for $637.46. Ordered it on November 27, 2023, and it was delivered three days later on November 30th. We have been experimenting with it for a few days now and like it very much! However, I’m still not sure how to list my own drink in the menu. I know you said that you go to settings, but when I did, I still couldn’t figure it out, I will give it another try. It would have been helpful if you had gone through the process of how to name your own drinks. Updated 4-5-24; Also, You mentioned that the Pro heats both the water and the milk at the same time. Thay may be true in the United Kingdom, but not in the United States. I think that since we only have a 120-volt system in America it can't handle heating both sides at the same time, so it just does one side of a time. Just as a suggestion you might consider doing a Descaler video. Thanks for making such a great video!

[@garnettbrown]

The biggest difference between the two are the pro has two boilers hence the ability to do coffee and milk simultaneously whereas the plus is a single boiler, and must do coffee and milk one at a time. Your paying for this nice convenience, however the heat up time for the plus is fast for a single boiler.

[@HM-pw8it]

How many ounces of milk can the jug hold at “max” fill line?

[@brownsugarcoffee1]

In the United States, the machine you can’t do separately only in the UK. So you might as well just keep the plus.

[@ducockk]

The pro can do coffee and milk at the same time because it has two separate heating elements, while plus only uses one heating element to do both. The temperature required to froth milk is much higher than the temperature to brew coffee. So on plus the heating element constantly switches between two temperatures, even more so if you are making multiple drinks one by one. This leads to some potential downsides: 1. The temperature is not as consistent compared to pro; 2. (I suspect) reduce the lifespan of the heating element. Dead milk wand on the plus is a very common issue based on google reviews, you hardly find any complaints of the same issue on the pro.

[@TehillahHessler]

Great demonstration of the differences between the Pro and the Plus. One thing that may add to the advantage of the Pro is in making an Americano. I have been taught by my Italian friend that an Americano is made by pouring an Espresso into a cup of hot water. Thus the separate hot water dispenser is a plus.
